The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside of the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting.
Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said, according to the New York Times.
The Secret Service was only tasked with covering the grounds where Trump’s rally took place, with local police being recruited to assist with those efforts and secure the area outside of the rally.

Argh, I searched for duplicates and got no hits. This is a duplicate, please pull.
When YOUR ONLY JOB IS TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT, it is ALL your fault.
We know the shooting was a total security failure. But we’ll never be told the truth about the shooter.
Inside job.................
You can’t delegate RESPONSIBILITY. They are in charge it is their responsibility. PERIOD.
They were also short agents because they took some of his normal team to guard Jill who was also in PA that day. Sounds shady to me. Biden was also at Mass at the time of the shooting, just like a Godfather movie. I’ll never believe this wasn’t a hit on Trump.
Seems obvious enough.
So the SS is at fault: "He who smelt it, dealt it."
The SS was responsible regardless of the details
“They were also short agents “
One was 5’5” and could not adequately shield Trump.
Like blaming Bush for Katrina. No local preparation beforehand. Democrat-run city.
Defund the police? It seems they’re asking for it. Think of the cop at the school that let the kids die. The individual cop that ‘confronted’ this fella who shot Trump will get away with acting dumb. Hope they at least ID him for shaming purposes. Could be a leftie.
So we are now hearing that most of Trump’s regular SS detail was removed for this event.
What does the high sheriff think of this? After all it will be his accommodations that the election interferers will be thrown in and held and held and held.
